Yahoo Live Launches – Online Video, Um, Live

Techmeme is all
abuzz with news of the Yahoo Live
launch. I’m thinking Yahoo’s doing online video? Again? But weren’t they closingYahoo Video? No, that wasYahoo Podcasts —
it’s hard to keep track of the closures. But still, what’s special about Live?
Then I hit the official Yahoo blog post about it and it all became clear (and
potentially cool). Yahoo Live lets you broadcast live video. From
the post:

Broadcast the concert you’re at. Webcast your own live DJ set. Lifecast.
Build your own live video speed dating application. We’ve created a website and
an API that lets you do all these things and many more.

Ready to get going? Apparently, plenty were — and the "experimental" site
crashed. It remains down at the moment, but check out the posts below for some
screenshots:
